Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) riding the impulse wave

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE: TSM) operates as the world’s leading semiconductor foundry, powering the global AI and computing evolution. As demand for advanced chips surges, the stock has broken into new high territory, confirming a powerful bullish cycle is now in force.

Today, we decode the Elliott Wave pattern driving this strategic breakout. Furthermore, our analysis provides a clear technical roadmap with specific targets for its continued ascent. The convergence of strong sector momentum and a clear wave structure creates a compelling technical opportunity.

Elliott Wave analysis

TSM began its rally from the 2022 low, unfolding in a clear three-wave structure. First, wave I peaked at $226.40. Then, wave II pulled back sharply to $134.25. Afterward, the stock surged to new all-time highs, entering wave III. Notably, wave III also displays a three-wave advance, now entering the equal legs zone between $301.59 and $341.06.

At this stage, TSM should see further upside to complete the five-wave sequence of wave III by the end of 2025 or in early Q1 of 2026. After that, a corrective wave IV pullback may follow presenting another buying opportunity. Eventually, the bullish cycle could resume, targeting the 1.618 Fibonacci extension near $404.
